– Nuun optimal hydration is an easy way to stay hydrated. The tablets dissolve quickly in a glass of water, taste great, are low in calories, and contain a ton of electrolytes. It costs $24 for one box (4 tubes=64 tablets), but if you order more than 1 box, each costs $22. *Free shipping until Dec 9th

– My husband purchased a Road ID bracelet for me when I was pregnant – it was one of the best gifts I every received. I now wear it on every run I go on. It contains your vital information (name, who to contact, phone #s) that can be used in case of an emergency while you are out running. They range between $15.99 (for the slim – pictured below) to $29.99 (for the elite version).

– Running Books / Running Magazines – a few of my favorites include: – Run Like a Mother – Running Times – Born to Run – Couple on the Run (haven’t read it yet, but plan to!)

– There’s always room on your Christmas list for some jewlery! The Run Home is an amazing site for handcrafted sterling and nickel silver running inspired jewelry and ornaments. Prices range from $18-31 and include the personalization of your item. *Free Shipping on all orders

Under $50

– Saucony running apparel offers a wide selection of running shorts, tees, winter gear, and accessories for both men and women. (Some of my apparel is Saucony so if you have any questions, please let me know). Saucony has a great holiday gift guide on their site with gifts ranging from $25-150.

– One of the best gifts to give your runner is a pair of Yurbuds. If your runner is like me, then they have likely shorted out entirely too many headphones to count due to excess sweat or rain. Yurbuds have a twist lock technology that lock into place for a secure fit that never fails out and are both sweat and water resistant. They range in price from $29.99-59.99 (although the most popular model is the Yurbuds Ironman Inspire ($49.99).

Under $100 – If you know of a specific race your loved one plans on running in 2012, a great gift is the race entry fee. Fees can range from $5-10 for a local 5k to upwards of $150 for the larger, more popular marathons (NYC, Boston); however, most entry fees are typically under $100.

If there is no budget (or if you are doing some holiday shopping for yourself!)– Nordic Trakoffers a wide selection of treadmills, ellipticals, incline trainers, and bikes ranging from commercial through elite series. The website already has many items on sale (some for 1/2 price) and free shipping. *Use the code “anothermotherrunner” to save an additional 10% off your entire order – valid until Dec 31st.

Any other ideas for the holiday wishlist? Let me know in the comments!!

I love running books! I haven't read Meb's yet (maybe I should add that to my wishlist!)…Bart is awesome – he makes himself SO available to meet all us running mortals. I had the pleasure of meeting and chatting with him about a month ago. Haha! =)

Running books are myfavorite gifts (holidays or birthdays). I rectnly gave someone Meb's book and have gifted Dean Karnazes' books on more than one occasion. A signed Bart Yasso book is always great if you happen to be at an Expo.Love the road ID bracelet idea. Should i just send you my mailing address now?
